Definitions

  • the invention relates to a brake device for a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system.
  • An aspect of the invention is an improved brake device without vacuum booster, which allows simple and reliable detection of the zero point and at the same time emits less sound on its return.
  • An aspect of the invention proposes that a damping element is provided which permits a mechanical decoupling of the actuating rod unit from the cylinder piston, in a release direction opposite the actuation direction, by means of a reversible deformation.
  • the damping element may be arranged positionally securely and compactly in the cylinder piston, and be mechanically protected.
  • a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the damping element is formed as a solid element which is elastically deformable at least in the axial direction.
  • the damping element may be formed from an elastomer material, whereby a particularly high proportion of the introduced forces is transformed into heat and at the same time less stringent dimensional tolerances are required.
  • An aspect of the invention furthermore proposes that the actuating rod unit is received in the cylinder piston so as to be axially limitedly movable relative to the cylinder piston in the release direction, provoking deformation of the damping element.
  • the actuating rod unit may perform the relative movement to dissipate energy compactly in the cylinder piston.
  • the actuating rod unit is constructed from at least two pieces with an actuating rod and a fitting piece which is arranged so as to be tiltable but immovable on the cylinder piston-side end of the actuating rod, wherein a front face is formed on the fitting piece for introducing actuation forces into the cylinder piston in the actuation direction, and a rear face for introducing inertia forces from the actuating rod into the damping element in the release direction.
  • the damping element is used to positionally secure the fitting piece in the cylinder piston, whereby the number of components and the space required may be kept small, and also the force flow is improved and tolerance chains largely reduced.
  • the damping element is axially positioned and secured by a removable locking element, such as for example a locking ring, round wire circlip or similar, whereby a repair-friendly solution can be implemented with simplified installation and without complex tools and special jigs.
  • a removable locking element such as for example a locking ring, round wire circlip or similar
  • the damping element may however be positionally secured by plastic deformation of the region of the cylinder piston, such as by caulking, constricting, clinching and similar.
  • FIG. 1 shows in longitudinal section a partial view of a first embodiment of the improved brake device according to an aspect of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the region of the embodiment in FIG. 1 with the damping element.
  • FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of the region with the damping element of another embodiment according to an aspect of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 A first figure.
  • the brake device 1 has a multipiece housing 2 containing a pressure chamber 3 which is filled with a brake fluid.
  • the pressure chamber 3 is here connected hydraulically (not shown) to a simulator or to at least one wheel brake for generating brake pressure.
  • the pressure chamber 3 is delimited by a cylinder piston 4 which may be axially displaced in the actuation direction B by means of an actuating rod unit 6 .
  • the cylinder piston 4 is here shown in its non-actuated starting position in which it lies against a rigid stop 14 fixed to the housing.
  • the stop 14 thus always defines the non-actuated starting position or zero position of the cylinder piston 4 .
  • the actuating rod unit 6 is coupled to a brake pedal (not shown here).
  • a brake pedal not shown here.
  • a return spring 15 clamped between the actuating rod 5 and the housing 2 is compressed; after release of the brakes, said spring supports the return of the mechanical components in the release direction L into their respective non-actuated starting positions.
  • the cylinder piston 4 After the end of the braking process and after release of the brake—for example, by the driver lifting their foot off the brake pedal—the cylinder piston 4 , together with the actuating rod unit 6 and the brake pedal, is moved quickly in the release direction L due to the spring and hydraulic forces acting thereon, until the back edge of the cylinder piston 4 hits the stop 14 .
  • a damping element 7 which can be reversibly deformed under build-up of a preload force and only deforms in the axial direction when the cylinder piston 4 hits on the stop 14 , is connected between the actuating rod unit 6 and the cylinder piston 4 , in the force flow from the actuating rod unit 6 into the cylinder piston 4 in the release direction L.
  • the actuating rod unit 6 is temporarily decoupled from the cylinder piston 4 , and moves relative thereto slightly further in the release direction L while the cylinder piston 4 remains in its zero position.
  • the actuating rod unit 6 driven by the preload force built up in the damping element 7 , moves in the actuation direction B into its non-actuated starting position shown.
  • the damping element 7 is formed as an elastomer ring element which is positionally secured in the cylinder piston 4 .
  • the scope of an aspect of the invention also includes other reversibly deformable components, such as for example metal spring elements.
  • FIG. 2 shows in enlarged scale the region around the damping element 7 of the embodiment according to an aspect of the invention shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the actuating rod unit 6 is formed of multiple pieces in the embodiment shown. It comprises a substantially pin-like actuating rod 5 and a fitting piece 8 fixed to its end on the cylinder piston side, and substantially serves to optimise the force transmission from the actuating rod 5 to the cylinder piston 4 , and at the same time allows angular compensation of the actuating rod 5 .
  • the fitting piece 8 is connected to the actuating rod 5 by caulking, in the form of several indentations 17 distributed peripherally behind the ball-like head of said actuating rod 5 , whereby it is fixed thereto in a tiltable and axially immobile fashion.
  • the fitting piece 8 is inserted in a stepped bore 11 formed in the cylinder piston 4 , and rests against the damping element 7 in the release direction L.
  • the damping element 7 is also arranged inside the stepped bore 11 in the cylinder piston 4 and axially positionally secured in the release direction L by means of a locking element 9 .
  • the fitting piece 8 is captively held in the cylinder piston 4 in a force-transmitting connection by the damping element 7 .
  • the locking element 9 is formed as a locking ring inserted in a radially inner groove 10 , and because of this design can be both installed and removed.
  • a flat disc-like front face 12 is provided on the fitting piece 8 .
  • An annular back face 13 serves to transfer forces from the actuating rod 5 into the damping element 7 in the release direction L.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the brake device 1 according to an aspect of the invention.
  • the damping element 7 and hence also the fitting piece 8 are axially fixed in the cylinder piston 4 not by a removable locking element 9 but by a plastically deformed region 16 of the cylinder piston 4 .
